solid bolt actions in .30-06 (since there's so much ammo available) will do in a pinch.

Savage 111F with the accu trigger. Accurate as all get out!

I don't own any Savage rifles presently, but I'm real familiar with the old 110, and it and the new Savages are in my opinion the best value for the money these days (Somewhat like Ruger used to be). I'll vouch for the accuracy of the 111F. A friend of mine owns one and it shoots superbly.

With regard to the 30-06 cartridge, I think Jeff Coopers daughter Lindy put it best in a verse she penned "...there ain't many things a man can't fix, with 700 dollars and a 30-06." It and the .308 are my favorites, and are both superb general purpose rounds.

I’ve never been a huge Savage fan, but they’re good guns. I always liked the old National Match Springfield from the ‘30s I used to have, and my bedded and seated Winchester M70 for long-range .30-06 bolt actions. My dad was a collector, and I got to shoot a whole lot of military rifles from M1895 Winchester Russians, Spanish Mausers and Krags right on through the semi-autos from WWII - M1s, Johnsons, Gewehr41 and 43. For sheer pleasure in shooting, I think I liked the old Mauser K98a in 7.92 mm best.
